Chrome is now branching out to shoes. They are mostly known for their wonderful bags. The new line of shoes should appeal to a wide range of people. So come along and check out my review of the Chrome Kursk Cordura Shoes.

The new shoe line features models from high top to low top. The Kursk shoe is a low top model with a retro feel. They come in black, brown or grey and I chose the black model. The shoe was a perfect fit for my size 9 feet.

The shoes are quite comfortable and the styling is to my liking. The red sole especially pops out at me. They have a feeling of converse shoes but with better comfort and updated style.

The Chrome Kursk shoes are everything expected them to be. They are well designed, comfortable, and cool looking. While they are designed for bike riders, they can be worn by anyone as an everyday shoe.

I was looking for a new wallet and came upon the Jimi Wallet. This is the original slim plastic wallet. I have seen quite a few imitators but this is the original. Now let's take a look into this wallet.

The Jimi wallet is made of recycled and recyclable materials. They also donate 1% to the environment. The wallet comes in 14 different colors. I chose the stealth black because I'm a low key guy.

Just the essential is what you carry with you. And the Jimi Wallet is perfect for just the essentials. So I can take a license, credit card and a couple of bucks with me. The wallet is carried in the front pocket which will provide an extra amount of security.

I highly recommend the Jimi Wallet for those who don't like carrying your plain Jane leather wallet. It is a perfect gift for a guy who wants to keep it simple.

MP4nation unfortunately had to cancel their first MID the Nationite MIDNite Xpress. This is mainly due to the factory not able to get the right components and software together. MP4nation has posted options for preorders.

To all those that have placed a preorder for the Nationite MIDNite Xpress, i regret to inform that we will not be able to provide you with this player. Due to circumstance well beyond my control, the factory is unable to product the Xpress units as they are meant to be made, this is due to shortage of components, although there are alternative components available, to use these it would require a change in the firmware, however the factory does not have the technical know how to do this.

We can't keep waiting for the factory to either get the right components or hope to get an engineer capable of amending the firmware for the alternative components. So as of today we canceled the entire order for the Xpress units.

Please, please, please, read the below before you email us (actually please don't email us first, i will be email each buyer between tomorrow and Monday).

Those that have made a purchase with the Xpress you can opt for the following as alternatives:

1) Change your order to a SmartQ Q5 MID, we will throw in a free mofi case, viewing stand and custom screen protector, as well we will give you $10 store credit for use on anything within the store.

2) Take store credit for the amount you paid and we will add an additional $10 to the balance.

3) Take a full refund.

To any that take options 1 or 2 we will offer them the discounted EMS shipping of $10 also. To any that choose EMS for their Xpress order and choose 1 or 2, we will give an additional $10 store credit as a partial refund on thehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif EMS shipping you paid.

Please if you are reading this, do not open a support ticket or email us with what option you want, please wait for my email. There are quite a few people that did preorder this especially in the last few days, but for those that jumped on this very early and have been waiting for quite some time, i really want to say that i am very sorry and wish this did not need to happen.

Paying too much for cables at the brick and mortar? Well the great thing about the Internet is you can get some great deals online. Optimized Cable company provides a ton of affordable premium cables like HDMI cables, Component cables, and other cables for your home theatre and HDTV setup.

I was actually looking to get a HDMI cable. And 6FT seems to be a popular length. I have a 42" Panasonic Plasma so HDMI cable can output high quality HD video. I have several gadgets that I used the cable with. I tested the cable with my PS3 Slim and WDTV Media player and outputted to 1080P and the quality was quite simply fantastic. Games really pop out in high definition.

In my opinion price does not make a cable good. What counts is performance and the 6 Ft. Ultra-High Speed HDMI Cable - 28 Gauge - Gold Plated 1.3b outputs video as good as a high priced HDMI cable. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to watch the best quality video on their HDTV.
